Educatius has been placing international students in Hopkinton High School since the inception of the international program four years ago. Your local coordinator Ann Northup is 5 minutes away, or a phone call away and ready to support you and her students with home visits, monthly check-ins and any back-up you might need including a place to stay if you need to leave town.
